Yo heard it on the Robb Report first, but may have just caught it here. Forget the Batmobile. Pininfarina Just Unveiled 4 Bruce Wayne-Inspired Electric Hypercars. The Italian coachbuilder has released "Gotham" and "Dark Knight" variants of the B95 and the Battista. The Italian coachbuilder has teamed up with Warner Bros.’s luxury brand Wayne Enterprises to create a four-piece collection of electric hypercars inspired by Batman’s billionaire alter ego. The lineup includes two limited-edition versions of the roofless Barchetta 95 (B95) and the Battista hyper GT.
“Designing an all-electric hypercar inspired by Bruce Wayne is a dream assignment for our team, giving them creative freedom to place themselves into the imagination of someone as iconic as Bruce Wayne,” Pininfarina’s chief design officer Dave Amantea said in a statement. “These two exclusive specifications for our two hypercars represent the ultimate vehicles for the man behind the most famous mask in the world.” Fittingly christened “Gotham” and “Dark Knight,” the new editions evoke Wayne’s elegant, refined taste and Batman’s, well, super power. Pininfarina says the quartet showcases “many unique and previously unseen technical specifications,” too. The changes seem mostly aesthetic, though the Battistas did gain extra air inlets in the front, new carbon wings in the rear, and fresh shark fins along the tailgate. The Battistas also got new doors and a curved glass roof. Reflecting Wayne’s sophisticated lifestyle, the Gotham versions of the B95 and Battista feature tan leather interiors and gray (Argento Vittorio) exteriors. Conversely, the Dark Knight editions nod to Wayne’s role in Gotham City’s dark underworld, combining black Alcantara and leather upholstery with glossy black (Nero Profondo) exterior paint. The Gothams are fitted with stealthy black alloys, while the Dark Knights sport ceramic-polished rims. In addition, all models feature Wayne Enterprises logos throughout and a unique aluminum chassis and door plate. Arguably the coolest part is that the new voice command system within the cars was inspired by Wayne’s loyal butler Alfred Pennyworth. The collection is exclusively available on the BruceWayneX website. The Battistas cost €3.4 million (approximately $3.6 million) a pop, while the B95s are priced at €4.9 million (roughly $5.2 million) each. The hypercars will be showcased at an invite-only experience in N.Y.C. from June 3 to 10. Read More on the Robb Report
